The AAS is setting up a website to collect all the Extrasolar planetary data (and exomoon data when it starts coming in). They are supposed to be including info on habitability. The article I read didn't have a link to that website though.. (Stupid Space.com)

Let me see whether I have this right. Judging from the luminosity of Gliese 667 C and the orbital distance of Gl 667 Cc, Gl 667 Cc has a black-body temperature of 29 C, which is 12 K warmer than Earth's surface temperature. Is that right? Or is it that it would have a mean surface temperature of 29 C if its albedo and greenhouse effect had a combined effect similar to those of Earth?

Gl 667 Cc has a mass of about 5.2 M♁, which suggests a radius of about 1.73 times r♁, give or take for differences of gravity. That suggests a surface gravity about 1.73 g0, give or take for density. Escape velocity about 19.3 km/sec. Likely a dense atmosphere then: large greenhouse warming. It's going to be pretty warm down there on the surface.
